I am cleaning up my vault and found an entry about #WorldCommunityGrid

In the past I've contributed three using the #boinc client.
I can remember that in this time, they had some successes for childhood cancer.

Looks like this project is still online.

Have you ever heard of that or done similar things?

I think #SetiAtHome worked similar.

I've just removed all of my #worldcommunitygrid instances. I have been running #wcg on a number of machines for many years now but, since its migration from IBM, it has become increasingly fragmented and, not to put a finer point on it, thoroughly unreliable. I'm not prepared to continue to support an organisation that takes over 2 weeks to carry out a migration that was planned (if it was planned at all) to take an afternoon. Sad.

This is my 13th #blaugust post. No wonder I'm behind schedule if I write a post for three days... 😀 This one about what my username means to me.

For any #BOINC users out there, I'm trying to reinstall it on my desktop. I think my antivirus messed it up. I'm neither able to uninstall or install it properly, getting the same error in both cases. So clearly, I'm missing something somewhere. Anyone have any ideas?

I've been using #WorldCommunityGrid for... wow... four years now. Where the hell did the time go?
As a #cancer survivor I'm pretty passionate about finding treatments, and that's one of the things #WCG tackles. But almost everyone I've ever tried to get interested in the program is against it and I don't understand why. Curious if anyone out there is using it besides me.

Nachdem #setiathome vor längerer Zeit abgeschaltet wurde, hatte ich meine übrige Rechenzeit über #worldcommunitygrid gespendet. Leider scheint das seit ein paar Wochen offline zu sein - und das, nachdem sie bereit für einen Umzug in ein anderes Rechenzentrum mehrere Wochen offline waren…

Heute Nacht wurden endlich ein paar meiner derzeit ungenutzten #RaspberryPi​s als Rechenzwerge für #CitizenScience- bzw. #DistributedComputing-Projekte, wie #OpenPandemics (ein Subprojekt des #WorldCommunityGrid​s) oder #EinsteinAtHome aktiviert. 🙌 #COVID19 #Corona

@LittleJoeMuc nope. I do #openpandemics by #worldcommunitygrid where I get an opensource client and can be sure about the humanitarian nature of the project.

15. May, #OpenPandemics becomes available on #worldcommunitygrid. I switch all my projects (sorry FightAIDS@Home, see you next year again).

You have my sword TitanX.

Some impressive upwards curve from boinc-client. I have no idea what it really means.
